The World Between Blinks

1st Jan 2023
To say that the book, The World Between Blinks, is just a story about cousins who get lost in a world where all the lost things of our world have gone, would be to simplify the story unfairly. Written by Ami Kaufman and Ryan Graudin, this book introduces us to cousins Marisol and Jake. ‎… Read

Felix Yz – Lisa Bunker

16th Sep 2019
I read Felix Yz with growing delight. The story is captivating. The tension builds throughout. I cared deeply for all the characters. All of that.  But, for me, the best part of the book was the voice that Lisa Bunker used to tell the story. The blurb line below the title states. ‘It’s what’s inside… Read

“Saving Wonder”

20th Oct 2018
I have just finished reading Saving Wonder by Mary Knight. I was attracted to the book by its title and the cover. I am so glad I picked it up. What a story. It’s pretty gentle but tells a very moving tale of the relationships and bonds which form between people. It also points up… Read

The Oceans Between Stars

8th Aug 2018
Whew. This book picks up exactly where the first one left off. It’s an exciting ride with many twists and turns along the way. I’ve almost lost count of the number of alien species in the mix, but in this book we find that some are much closer than we think. The children plunge into… Read

Last Day on Mars

21st Jul 2018
This book is sci-fi at it’s best. Thrilling story, mysterious aliens – some benign some a threat. Non stop danger and the capacity of the protagonists to work out their own problems and keep on going towards their goal despite all obstacles, kept my attention. What’s not to love. And the interesting science aspects of… Read
